after how many hits he took, i find it hardly suprising that smith had a woeful performance, however i do think that he will improve under john kear - smith had two poor seasons at salford probably because he was playing under McRae?

They try and twist you on here mate you could have got a lad from Eastmoor to play better than him today.

well, your just great for morale boosting aren't you?

you are as thick has a mile of mars bars, any parking fines this year

I thought Smith did not take on the line and looked really rusty..whether thats down to match practice i dont know.

Think he should be in reserves to get match fit and Harvey (who we were trying to sign pre-season) should feature next week hopefully and hyde if back tends to be busy in the halfbacks.

That said i will still back smith for the time being. His first game.

not good enough for us,makes a change for someone else having our cast offs!!

Is this post real?????

His first game after months of not playing and also playing with a team who he's never played with before. Add the fact that most of the team are only playing together for the second or third time after a very uncertain and unsettled start to the season.

The words 'moon', 'on' , 'a' and 'stick' spring to mind.

Two words - Sean and Gleeson.

NGB4C have you ever played as a half back playing behind a pack that is not going forward, I have,and believe me believe me it is not a pleasant experiance, both half backs today were playing together for the first time so give them a chance to get to know each other's play and hopefilly playing behind apack that is winning the collision.

gleeson can rot in the wings for me,rather give our home grown lads there chance!

you know what newgroundb4cas if i was a moderator on here you would be banned for a month what a totally pathetic post , we agreed to get behind the players we have and what we could afford and give them our backing and our full support YET you rip into one of them after one performance how can you make a judgement on one game your a total and utter disgrace, THE MOTTO IS WE ARE WAKEFIELD TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER ( WHERES THE TOGETHERNESS WHEN YOU RIP A PLAYER TO PIECES AFTER ONE PERFORMANCE HES NOT EVEN HAD THE CHANCE TO PLAY PRE SEASON AND YOU EXPECT MIRACLES)

Hes been terrible for 3 years now side show bob !!!

Is he not entitled to his opinion. Smith but may well improve in the future, but based on todays performance was absolutely shocking. Anyone who says otherwise must have been watching s different game.
